Cauliflower Crust Margherita Pizza with Fresh Basil
Savor a guilt-free twist on a classic Italian favorite with this Cauliflower Crust Margherita Pizza. Enjoy crisp, golden cauliflower crust lovingly topped with a vibrant, herb-infused tomato sauce, gooey melted mozzarella, and bursts of fresh cherry tomatoes finished with aromatic basil and a drizzle of olive oil.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups cauliflower florets (≈200g)
2 large eggs
80g part-skim mozzarella
1/4 cup tomato sauce (≈60g)
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes (≈50g)
8 fresh basil leaves
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender (about 5-7 minutes), then transfer to a food processor and blend into a rice-like texture.
Place the riced cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and wring out excess moisture thoroughly.
Mix the cauliflower rice with beaten eggs, salt, and pepper. Press the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form a thin, even crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until edges begin to crisp.
Remove the crust from the oven. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the crust, then sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Add halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the top and return the pizza to the oven for an additional 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
